"You saved us, Ares, you saved us all, the Gilneys will always remember your exploits, and the Gilnesians will always be your allies, the Great Lord."

At Greymane's Manor, King Jean of Gilneth sat at the banquet table and said seriously and seriously in front of everyone. His tone was so sincere, and his eyes were full of gratitude and trust. It's nothing like when Ares first arrived two months ago. There was no longer an expression of contempt and disregard on the old king's face, but one of appreciation, trust, and even some admiration.

"Your Majesty, what's next?"

Jean was so enthusiastic, Ares didn't say anything, and gladly accepted the other party's praise, anyway, the purpose of coming to Gilneth this time is also for this purpose, the Scarlet Crusaders are unable to fight against the Scourge army alone, and pull Gilneth and Dalaran together, barely enough troops to fight against the undead Scourge. The city of Gilneth had been liberated three days earlier, and now Ares began to ask Jean about his next steps, and if there was no plan, Ares planned to come up with his own plan to attack the undead fortress in the Western Plaguelands.

However, Jean clearly had a plan......

"There are plans, and there is one more thing to be done. I will remove the threat of the blood-toothed werewolves once and for all, and in two days, I will gather my army in Gilneth City, and I will lead my soldiers out of the high walls and attack Shadowfang Castle. ”

Sitting on the throne, Jean said in a deep voice. His gaze was once again filled with the enthusiasm of the battle. That day, in Twilight Harbor, the Bloodfang Werewolf nearly killed him, nearly destroying Gilneis, and he must avenge this revenge, even if the Bloodtooth Werewolf runs to the ends of the earth, Gene will kill them all.

"Shadowfang Castle?"

Ares asked in surprise. When I arrived, I heard that it was the lair of the blood-toothed werewolves, and the fallen archmage Arugao hid in the secluded fortress, studying the spells to control the undead and werewolves, and at the same time, this fortress was also a copy of the ravages of countless low-level players, but now it has become a real existence. Although I haven't been there, the descriptions I've heard during this time are always full of dark curses and endless werewolves and undead.

An ancient castle occupied by a spooky mage, Ares guesses that it is the same as Karazan, with undead shards, countless visions, and eerie cries.

"Yes, would you like to come with me to Shadowfang Castle, Ares? Your troops may be small in number, but they appear to be very resilient. ”

Jean said, casting an expectant look at Ares.

And Ares couldn't help but feel refreshed from his heart - of course, the combat effectiveness of this army is strong, and almost all the bosses in the Scarlet Monastery have been pulled out, except for Whitemayne who also guarded the monastery for himself, everyone else has played, and there are five fireball people, these twenty or so people, to put it bluntly, are all their belongings.

"Go, you must go, the business of allies is my business, between brothers and friends, this is still needed, not to mention that we are now an alliance."

Ares politely arrived.

"I knew you would, Lord Ares."

A hearty laugh came. Jean sat in his seat and was in a good mood. The Scarlet Crusader Lord in front of him not only helped him drive out the Bloodfang Werewolf and heal Liam, but now he also promised to assist him in attacking Shadowfang Castle.

Thinking back to his attitude towards him two months ago, Jean suddenly felt a sense of remorse. But he naturally won't show it in public.

"Shadowfang Castle?"

At this moment, Liam, who had transformed into a human form, walked in from the balcony. He even had the smell of the sea breeze on him, so he couldn't wait to sit down and discuss the next thing with everyone.

"Yes, I'm talking to Ares and Gianna about how to storm Shadowfang Castle, you know, it used to be Baron Sylvaline's castle, this damn Arugau, summoned the ancient wolf and went into hiding, I shouldn't have done that, trust him......"

Jean said, seemingly returning to his old temper, apparently mired in self-blame and remorse. This is a rare occurrence for Ares to see Jean admitting his mistakes in front of everyone. Of course, even if he doesn't admit it, this mistake is a fact that everyone knows, and it was he who asked Arugao to summon werewolves to defend Gilneth from the Scourge in the first place.

"The castle was built on top of a cliff and in front of it was a pitch-black, charred wood, perhaps with some dark magic, which had not grown young leaves since Arugao entered the castle, and there was a village in the woods called Burning Wood Village, which was also a high-frequency area infested by bloodtooth werewolves."

Sitting at the banquet table, Liam earnestly recounted the situation at Shadowfang Castle. And Ares also listened carefully, even if he knew the castle well before he crossed over, but after all, it was a game, and the Shadow Fang Castle in reality may not be like this, its scale may exceed his imagination, and the structure inside the castle may be completely different, just like Gilneth City, Gilnes City in the game is a town of dozens of houses, but in reality, it is a city with tens of thousands of houses.

"Is that all you know about that castle?"

Drumm drank his wine and asked without paying any attention to etiquette.

But Liam didn't care, he fought side by side with the big man, and as Jean said, the people of Gilnes owe Ares and his party a great favor. This little detail is not enough to take to heart.

"Of course, there are not only werewolves but also undead who are guarded by this castle. In short, in order to occupy the castle, Arugao killed the castle's original owner, Baron Sivalen, as well as his servants and guards, who were resurrected by dark magic and served as the castle's guards. Perhaps they had expected that one day, a human army would attack it. ”

"How many floors does the castle have, is it heavily guarded?"

Ares then asked, in the game, to conquer this castle, you have to climb N-storeys, the ancient towers go straight up and down, the circular corridors are dizzying, I hope that in reality the castle is not so bad, wearing a suit of armor, if you want to climb fifty floors, it is almost dead.

"With a height of more than thirty floors, the garrison is estimated to be very strong, and many blood-toothed werewolves fled when we captured Gilneth City before, and now they are estimated to have gathered in that castle. The werewolves in the castle are expected to be overcrowded, and if we attack Shadowfang Castle, I guess Arugao will detect it in advance and send some of the Bloodfang werewolves in our way. After all, to feed so many blood-toothed werewolves, Arugao is estimated to be enough to breathe. ”

Liam replied, turning his head.

"Actually, it's all okay, it's not a big deal, the point is that Arugao is said to have a powerful beast in the castle - Wolgan. Head wolf. Twice as large as a normal werewolf and with claws harder than steel, it is said that Arugao kept it in the basement of the castle, feeding it daily with fresh flesh to satisfy its huge appetite, and occasionally throwing werewolves in......" Liam continued.
